1928 February 24th 8:15 p.m New Orleans, Louisiana

Alastor is walking home from working late at night. He is on his way home when he bumps into a woman. She falls to the ground and tries to get back up. But Alastor being the gentleman he is, helps her. He apologized and they chatted for a while. He decided to walk the lady home because it could be dangerous out there at night. So he walks her to her house and says goodnight. Before she closes the door she says her name.

"Martha. My name is Martha. I haven't told you yet but I feel like we'd see each other around now."

"That is a lovely name dear Martha. I'm Alastor. It was a pleasure to meet you."

The two say their goodnights and Alastor walks back home. But on his way home he couldn't help but think of Martha. The next day Alastor is at work on air broadcasting and conversing on the radio show,His radio show. When it was his lunchtime he went to a little library/bookstore. He went to the non fiction section. He was searching for a random book when he was about to reach for it and a hand already grabbed it. He was surprised and turned to look at who took the book. To his surprise it was Martha. He talked to her and she jumped. She was invisible to everyone so why did he see her? To him she was an angel in his world of hell. They talked about history and politics for a while till Alastor had to go back to work. He asked her to dinner and she agreed. Alastor went to work with a pep in his step. He felt so happy that she agreed to have dinner with him. He finished work and got ready for the date. He picked her up and took her t a nice french styled restaurant. They had dinner and talked,laughed and even debated. This was perfect in their eyes. The date ended and they both said goodnight after Al dropped Martha off at her home. He went home that night in love with the beautiful Angle.

{TIMESKIP}

It has been Two months since Alastor and Martha became a couple. They even gave each other nicknames and moved in. But lately Alastor was getting this feeling in his stomach. A feeling like Martha wasn't the one for him. First he thought it was normal to feel this way. It eventually progressed to dreams about another girl. A woman that Al has never seen before. He would got to bed and wake up in many different places but the most occurring place was the woods. He would wander around till he heard the woman's voice.

"Come on All. Let's go see the deer. And have some for dinner. It's going to be dark soon."

He would follow this woman throughout the woods and do the same thing everytime. Hunter and kill a deer go to a cabin, cook it, eat it and kiss the woman. He didn't know why he was dreaming of this woman and not Martha. Without realizing he started to feel things for the mystery woman. And although he didn't see it Martha sure did. She saw how he stopped looking at her so longingly and how he had stopped holding her hand or just looking at her with love in his eyes. She knew something was up but she let it go.She eventually got tired of it and got mad at him one night and started a fight with him.

"You don't love me anymore Al. You don't even look at me the same anymore like you used to sweetheart."

"Don't call me that and I do love you. If I didn't I wouldn't be here now would I."

"Call you what- sweetheart? And yeah you're right you aren't here. It's like you're off somewhere else. In a whole other universe and I hate it. Come one Alastor this is stupid if you don't love me then say it. Stop trying to hide it. I hate it, I hate this relationship and I hate you."

Alastor was hurt by what she had said. And he lost it, he hit her and Martha stumbled back. She held her cheek and had tears drip from her face. She ran away from Al. He followed and tried to catch her. She ran up to their room and grabbed one of his Hunting guns off the wall and aimed it at Alastor. Alastor froze and put his arms up he slowly began to walk towards her. Martha backed up to a wall and started to shake. Alastor got to her and slowly and gently took the gun away from Martha. A few minutes go by and she tries to run from him again. Alastor is faster this time and grabs her. He starts to hold her tighter. Martha started to struggle for breath of air but couldn't get any. She soon gave out. Alastor laid her body on the floor and checked to see if she was okay. Once he heard no pulse he just stayed there frozen. He was not upset that he killed her but that she had the audacity to die on him (literally and figuratively). He stood up and walked over to hang his gun back up and walked back to Martha's body and started to drag her down the stairs. He went to his shed in the backyard and started to dig a hole in the ground. He picked the body up and tossed the body in and started to cover the hole with dirt. From that night forward Alastor started to kill to get his frustration out. When he died he died angry realizing that he never got to meet the mystery woman in his dream. Once he got to hell he felt powerful and years became decades and he became an overlord. He started to kill demons anytime he wanted. One night while he was on a kill spree he felt something. He teleported to earth and tried to figure out what it was. It felt like something was leading him to something. Once He made it to what he was led to he saw it was a hospital he still followed the flow of energy and saw a room full of nurses he had the power to cover up ever being there. He then heard the baby cry. He moved to see a baby girl in a pink blanket. Out of nowhere he saw images flashing in his head. These images were of her and were what once was his dreams. He was surprised. He thought that was his mind playing tricks on him but it wasn't he met his mystery woman. Finally.All the feelings he tried so long to get rid of came back. Rushing in like a flood. From that day forward he watched the little grow up and soon learned her name was Madison. 'Madison. What an angelic name for an angel.' one night while watching the family come back from a little night time drive, He noticed a drunk driver crash into the car. He went to check for Madison. She was still alive but just barely. Her heart would be giving out any second so he decided to save the family (Madison first) and sent for an ambulance. He kissed the four year old Madison on the forehead.

"We will meet one day my dear love."

And with that Al disappeared. A day later he visits Madison in the hospital and sees that she has been in a coma. Her parents were desperate for a prayer to be answered. So Alastor came up with a thought. He made himself look visible to the parents and held out his hand.

"I'm Alastor and I am here to answer your prayers."

"I will wake Madison up and keep her safe by watching over her as long as I get your souls when you die."

Without a second thought the father agreed and Alastor did his thing. He disappeared only to be in Madison's mind.He saw everything this little girl saw and seen and even imagined. He then looked straight to see the said girl in a trance watching her memories. He walked over to her and tapped her shoulder. She looked towards the deer demon and spoke with a happy aura.

"Hello. Alastor It's nice to finally meet you. And don't worry I know your name because I could hear you make a deal with my parents. So let me guess you're a demon."

Alastor was surprised that she spoke so happily towards him. Even after what she just heard. Alastor nodded and explained what he was going to do.

"I will help you wake up my dear. And once you're awake you will see your family again. Okay"

The young four year old smiled and nodded. Alastor smiled genuinely and used his voodoo powers to wake her up. And give the brain an extra kickstart. He then saw Madison fade away. Knowing that it worked he teleported back to hell feeling successful. And from then on he would visit Madison every now-and-then. Knowing that he got to see his beloved mystery woman.

{NOW}

"Alastor, Are you in there, yoohoo."

Alastor was so in his thoughts remembering his life and everything he didn't hear the conversation. He shook his head and looked at the little woman and smiled asking his question.

"What is it, Mimzy dear? I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something."

"Oh. What was it?"

"Just about my past. And my present"
